Chris Meloni shows off his 'True Blood' fangs

You asked for it, you got it! Though fans of "True Blood" were excited to see the first photo of former "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star Chris Meloni as vampire Roman last week, many were hoping he would look a little more like one of the undead.

Today, HBO released several promotional posters for the upcoming season, and one of them features none other than the man formerly known as Stabler with his new deadly weapons. Show creator Alan Ball revealed a while back that Roman is "an ancient, powerful vampire who holds the fate of Bill and Eric in his hands."
